The striptease of the raw materials is a rare view to the wealthy urbanite. As rare as the ankles of a 18th Century maiden (shock horror!) So seductive, that the top table in many restaurants is now IN the kitchen. Cf. Gordon Ramsey at Claridges with a 6 month waiting list for lunch in the kitchen! So rare and seductive, that Jamie Oliver's slaughter of a lamb on TV in the UK caused fascinated viewing and outrage at the same time.... hardly a reaction one would expect in a developing nation's village where lambs are routinely slaughtered by elders for their family meals

I would think this gastroporn is precisely *because* we no longer prepare our own food, because what once was everyday viewing in every home's kitchen has now become an exotic mystery for elite wealthy urbanites.

We always desire what is rare and different. It's human nature]]> tag:blog2.nownextonline.com,2006-12-18:201522 Christine 2006-12-18T04:05:58Z 2006-12-18T04:05:58Z tag:blog2.nownextonline.com,2006-12-18:201520 Christine 2006-12-18T04:00:59Z 2006-12-18T04:00:59Z
Will there ever be a way to balance the mommy track and career climbing?

Or should we just accept that the people we work so hard for are actually waiting for us at home.]]> tag:blog2.nownextonline.com,2006-12-15:199753 Fanar 2006-12-15T09:15:09Z 2006-12-15T09:15:09Z
I also notice that language like undevelopment is being equated with poverty. I appreciate driving through Spain and admiring the color of the soil and wild plants that grow on the side of the road. We need to brand preservation and nature. I hope that a country like Turkey will balance it's land development and preservation for all to appreciate.]]> tag:blog2.nownextonline.com,2006-12-15:199671 graeme 2006-12-15T05:19:10Z 2006-12-15T05:19:10Z tag:blog2.nownextonline.com,2006-12-14:199232 Dan 2006-12-14T16:15:45Z 2006-12-14T16:15:45Z
1. Acceptance of the Armenian Genocide. Turkey has massacred more than 1.5 million innocent men, women, and children, and are yet to acknowledge those mass murders during 1915-1922.
2. Complete withdrawal of all Turkish forces from Northern Cyprus, and unification of that country.]]>
